Meet Sarge!


Sarge is a sweet, sensitive boy around 2 years old who’s looking for a calm, understanding home. When he first arrived, he was a bit hesitant, but once he has time to settle in and build trust, his loving personality really shines. He forms strong bonds with his people and is happiest when he feels safe and secure.

Sarge enjoys the company of other dogs, especially those with lower energy levels, but he does best with slow introductions and respectful canine friends. High-energy dogs can be a bit too much for him, so a quieter playmate—or being the only dog—would suit him well.

If placed in a home with children, Sarge would need kids who understand how to respect a dog’s boundaries and give him space when he asks for it. He’s a gentle soul who wouldn’t want to hurt anyone and truly just wants the same kindness in return.

With patience, love, and a calm environment, Sarge will make a loyal and devoted companion. 💙

Meet Silah — a gentle soul looking for her special person

With her calm manners and loving personality, Silah would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a loyal, devoted dog to call their own.

Adoption Fee: $350.

Meet Stella — a gentle heart who loves to be close

Because of her gentle personality, Stella will do best in a home without small children, where she can enjoy a peaceful environment and plenty of affection.

If you’re looking for a loving, low-key dog who wants nothing more than to be by your side, Stella may be the perfect match for you. 🐾

She’s a strong girl and will do best in a home without other animals and without small children, where she can feel comfortable, secure, and understood.

Sometimes the best companions are the ones who have waited the longest. 🐾

Hi! My name is Griffon, but my friends call me Griff 🐾

I’m a Huskydoodle and a big, lovable goofball with a personality as fluffy as my coat. I’ve got plenty of energy and love to play, but don’t let that fool you — I’m also a champion couch snuggler who enjoys relaxing with my people.

I’ll admit… I have a bit of a mischievous side. I like to test boundaries when I can, but I’m a good boy at heart and very easy to redirect. I’m smart, eager to learn, and always trying to make my rescue mom proud.

I don’t think chickens or cats are my friends, and smaller dogs probably wouldn’t appreciate my play style either. I’d do best in a home without cats, chickens, or small dogs. However, I love playing with dogs my own size, so a larger canine companion would be a big plus!

I’m already house trained and crate trained, so I’m ready to settle right into my forever home.

If you’re looking for a fun-loving, affectionate, and slightly mischievous best friend, I might just be your guy.

Adoption Fee: $500

Come meet me — I promise to make you laugh and steal your heart. 💙

*Griffon will need a 6 foot fence. He had an injury jumping a lower fence. The injury doesn’t seem to bother him but to be safe, a higher fence is needed.

Meet Lisa — a happy, energetic girl with so much love to give!

She does well with other dogs and enjoys canine companionship.

If you’re looking for a fun, loving dog who’s ready to grow and learn alongside you, Lisa could be a wonderful match.

Hi! I’m Lardon — an energetic guy ready for adventure!

I’m a young, male mixed breed who’s been patiently waiting for my forever home. I love cruising around the yard, playing hard, and hanging out with other dog friends who can match my energy level.

I’d be a great fit for someone active who enjoys staying on the move and is ready to keep up with my playful pace. Whether it’s outdoor fun or daily activities, I’m always excited to be part of the action.

I’m already house trained and crate trained, so I’ve got a great foundation and am ready to settle into home life with the right family.

If you’re looking for a fun-loving, energetic companion to share your adventures with, I might be the one for you!
